greasy boys looking my way
shaking my head in dismay
my hips sway and their eyes follow
using they're eyes to swallow
those beady eyes can't see me
once they lay eyes my soul flees
insecurities clawing at my flesh
prosperity hidden under stacks of mesh
dying to be unnoticed
dying to be noticed
crying to be unseen
crying to be seen
